...............Great list! Ken Chapman of Old West has retired.

............Buckshot

[Frank46]

Old west bullet molds as far as I know is no longer in business. The owner finally retired maybe a couple of years ago. Frank

[LAH]

I could be wrong but thinking Ballisti Cast is also producing CNC milled moulds in addition to cherri cut..........Creeker

[tom barthel]

I just sent an e-mail to lee precision suggesting they offer something like the Ranch Dog bullet in .432 and .460 gc molds and sizer/seaters to go with them. If they get enough requests, they may expand their line to include more suitable products. It's something to think about.

[captainkirk]

Anybody have an email address for Cast Bullet Engineering - Jim Allison? I coudn't find one on his site. Is he still in business? Thanks.

Welcome to CB Mr Darr. Happy to have another source available.

Can you expand on a list of your capabilities? How many cavities max? Usual? Steel,aluminum construction ,,ect..

Thank you. :cbpour:

[Dale53]

I can personally attest to the quality of a Borton-Darr bullet mould. I have seen them perform where it counts! Their casting qualities are dern near wonderful. the bullets fall from the mould. Of course, these are CUSTOM moulds Jim and Barry will work with you to fit YOUR rifle, etc.

Delivery has been excellent, also.

Dale53

[kenjuudo]

Had a chance to cast with a Borton-Darr mold this winter. A work of art for sure.

[dromia]

Mr Darr is supplying me with two moulds, they come highly recommended by DoubleDD and Martinibelgian.

I'm looking forward to their arrival with anticipation. :drinks:

[Mouldsmith]

45nut
Borton-Darr Moulds specialize in moulds for competitive rifle shooting. Moulds are base pour single cavity made of steel with 3/16" thick sprue plate. Calibers .22 to .50. Each mould is made to individual client specification using any of our nearly 200 cherries, or made up to customer drawing, reproduce from sample, reproduce obsolete bullet styles or work with you in designing a bullet for your needs. We use a unique cherrie cutting process that allows us to tune bullet diameters to allow for a specific alloy shrinkage and/or oversize groove and bore diameters. No charge for making new cherrie cutters. Every mould is test cast to verify diameter and functioning of mould. Test castings are always sent with mould. Price of moulds is $115US, shipping included, handles $30 with mould order only. Our payment policy: do not prepay for moulds, "try it before you buy it" (within 30 days) If for any reason your not satified with our quality just return it.

I also have a complete 200 yard ballistics testing range like used by commercial ammunition manufacturers, with muzzle to target velocity recording, time/pressure testing, and actual ballistic data output. The test facility is used by us to develop new bullet designs.

Jim Borton has almost 40 years cast bullet experience and I have almost 40 years bullet mould making experience., both of us are competitive cast bullet rifle shooters.

I hope this helps explain who we are.

Barry Darr

Hi

CBE's website is now www.castbulletengineering.bigpondhosting.com

[powderburnerr]

It looks like rapine 's site is a dead link.is there any updated info on them?........Dean

[6pt-sika]

It is my understanding that the fellow that owned "Rapine" passed on and the company no longer produces !

And Eagan has passed and I believe they no longer produce either .

well ill chime in for NEI
my mould is excellent and by far the most well made one i own including an old saceo an old lyman and several lee moulds

does take a little more time to heat up but once i get it going the only time i have to stop is when the pots empty

the mould i have is a 2 cav alum in .454 an is a 330gr kieth style for my 45 blakhawk
some of the guys i shoot with say it sound like a cannon going off (now if i can just get a deer to come close enough i doubt it will go very far.

I contacted Barry Darr on 3/3/09 and was advised by his wife that he no longer makes bullet molds.

[Fabian23]

Hello all,

My first post here out of desperation :confused:

I have a percussion rifle with a .410 bore diameter which gets me stuck for all standard BP rifle bullet moulds so I figure I may as well try to get a mould of the original bullet profile. There are two I would like to try, both of which have a slightly unusual profile.
One is a pure compression bullet and the other is a combination compression/minié bullet. I have all the dimensions in metric. If anyone is up to taking the challenge let me know.

[Jim Borton]

Mr. Darr is no longer doing mould!
I Jim Borton is doing the mould now!

Glad to see your still in business.

Do you have cherry/mould list?

[JSnover]

I can't vouch for the others but I just received a mold from Dan at mountainmolds and it is a beauty! Prices are right for custom work and the turnaround time was fast!

[Arnie]

Buffalo Arms in Idaho has a very extensive mould list and has some one custom lathe boring moulds for them that are top notch quality.Arnie

[jakemo]

Newbie to this site and to Boolit casting. Can anyone direct me to the best source for obtaining a mould for .223, 60 grn. or better? Also, what limitations should I be aware of relative to barrel twist?
